After completing the visit to the Baigong Academy, Zhu Youxiao went straight back to the palace. The matter here has been settled, and nothing is worth continuing to worry about. You can return to the palace safely to recuperate.

The weather has not been very good these two days, and there should be heavy snow.

There were many things in the court, but there were not many things that could make Zhu Youxiao worry about. With his completion of the layout of the court, he didn't have to worry about many things, just let him make the decision on the big things.

If Zhu Youxiao didn't want to do anything more, he could even stay in the palace for decades.

But this is impossible, he has more important things to do.

After the beginning of winter, the office efficiency of the court became less effective. But in fact, the huge machine of the court was still running rapidly, and was more digesting the benefits obtained from Jiangnan and turning it into the power of the Ming Dynasty to take off.

The noisy days finally passed, and after the winter began, everyone finally calmed down.

Apart from daily trivial matters, there is basically nothing big about it. If the ministers are busy with anything, it is this year's imperial examination.

The imperial examination has been held several times, everyone has experience, and now it is almost time to release the exam. Everyone is also busy happily, after all, the competition for this matter is not above the court.

And on this day, when the door was covered with heavy snow, the group came to the capital.

Faced with heavy snow and looking at the gate of the capital, Zuo Guangdou smiled on his face.

Speaking of which, in recent years, he has been away from the power center of the court and various struggles, but his heart is not calm.

For Zuo Guangdou, he longed to take control of the country's power and to enter the core of power. However, the previous things have not calmed down.

Now it's better. In recent years, he has made a lot of contributions to the court and has done a good job in promoting new crops. This time, Zuo Guangdou stepped down as the governor of Huguang, and the emperor summoned him back to the capital, so he naturally had important responsibilities to him.

Although I don’t know what the emperor would ask him to do, I must have used it.

Not only Zuo Guangdou knows this, but also the court. At the same time, Zuo Guangdou's return also means another thing, that is, the matter of the Donglin Party finally passed at this time.

Although no one mentioned it again in the past few years and no one in the court is talking about it, it does not mean it does not exist. Everyone knows what the competition was for, especially after these few years, with the changes in court policies, more people understand it in their hearts.

Back then, the emperor dealt with the people of the Donglin Party because of party struggles and ideology on the other hand.

Now all kinds of thoughts are springing up like mushrooms after a rain, and even the Ministry of Justice has occupied a legal school? There are many various schools? The concept of equality among the four people has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the emperor won the final victory.

Under such circumstances? Zuo Guangdou returned to Beijing.

Everyone can realize that? This means that the battle was over and also represents the change in the court's policy. But where is it going? No one knows it yet. But I think it must be a change in the better direction.

"Go into the city." Zuo Guangdou said, shaking his hat.

Who would have thought that after coming to the capital these days, it would actually snow heavily?

It’s not easy to walk along the way? The hat is covered with snow and the cold wind blows, making people feel very cold.

But Zuo Guangdou's heart was hot, and the hearts of others were also hot.

The palace.

Zhu Youxiao took a look at the sky outside.

Is it really not good to have a snowy day? Fortunately, the temperature in the greenhouse is high enough? Otherwise, you must have to wear a thick cotton jacket to wrap around the bed.

After returning from Jiangnan, Zhu Youxiao moved out of Xiyuan, returned to the Forbidden City, and moved back to the Ganqing Palace.

It’s a bit late to talk about this behavior? After all, the court has been very peaceful in recent years and nothing has happened. We should have come back early.

But Zhu Youxiao has never felt any security in his heart and is only back now.

Wei Chao walked in from outside at this time? He was wearing a red cloak and snowflakes on his hat brim? But his expression on his face was very peaceful. He was living in the palace now very well.

Coming to Zhu Youxiao? Wei Chao said directly: "Emperor, Zuo Guangdou is asking for a meeting."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao was stunned.

He didn't expect Zuo Guangdou to enter Beijing in such weather.

Zuo Guangdou was summoned by him and came to see him as soon as possible after arriving in the capital. This is a matter of course.

I must see him, this is respect for him and a tacit understanding between the king and the minister.

However, what Zhu Youxiao didn't expect was that even such heavy snow could not stop Zuo Guangdou's pace. He originally thought that he would stop on the road and go to Beijing a few days later.

It seems that Zuo Guangdou is also homesick.

But I can understand that after leaving the Center for Power for several years, I really want to come back soon. In recent years, Zuo Guangdou has been working hard outside to farm.

Zhu Youxiao said, "Let him come in."

"Yes, the emperor." Wei Chao replied quickly.

After Wei Chao left, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Hong and said, "Prepare two braziers and put them next to Zuo Guangdou later. I guess he is frozen. At such an old age, don't break your body."

"Yes, the emperor." Chen Hong agreed and hurriedly asked someone to prepare.

This made Chen Hong feel a little emotional. Since he came back from Jiangnan this time, the emperor's character seemed to be much softer, and his attitude towards his ministers became much more magnanimous. He no longer shouted and killed like before, and he also became more gentle in doing things.

Chen Hong was still a little uncomfortable with the emperor's change for a while.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao no longer needs to use force or threats to demonstrate his prestige. He has passed the primary stage of killing and establishing his authority, but has evolved to a more advanced stage - starting to conquer people with virtue.

Of course, the premise of being able to win people with virtue is that your fist is big enough.

Not long after, Zuo Guangdou walked in outside wearing an official obedience.

The cloak was left outside. Because it was snowing outside, the cloak was already a little wet and it was not easy to wear in. What's more, it was a bit unofficial when I came to see the emperor wearing that thing.

After seeing Zhu Youxiao, Zuo Guangdou fell to the ground and said in a earnest tone: "My minister Zuo Guangdou, please see Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youxiao looked at Zuo Guangdou, who was trembling and understood why he was so excited.

Anyway, if I want to praise him this time, I will just praise him to the end.

Zhu Youxiao walked down the steps and came directly to Zuo Guangdou. Without any hesitation, he helped him up.

Not only did he lower the ranks, but he also helped him with his own hands. This kind of treatment is not something that ordinary people can have. There are not many ministers in the court who are worthy of His Majesty's doing, which is something Zuo Guangdou did not expect.

"I am afraid!" Zuo Guangdou said hurriedly.

"I have suffered a lot in various places in recent years. I know all of them. Promoting new crops in various places is a chore. I have done a good job and I remember this credit."

While talking, Zhu Youxiao turned to Chen Hong and said, "Come on a stool for Zuo Aiqing."

"Yes, the emperor." Chen Hong agreed, and asked someone to prepare a stool and hand it directly to Zuo Guangdou.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Youxiao frowned and suddenly showed an unhappy look on his face.

He said: "It was cold outside, and Zuo Aiqing was very cold all the way, so he asked someone to prepare two carbon pots to bring them over."

"Yes, the emperor." Chen Hong agreed with a look of fear and fear.

This is typical example of buying people's hearts.

He was obviously ready, but he still had to perform some things. Zhu Youxiao is doing these things like flowing, and there is no difficulty at all.

Zuo Guangdou hurriedly said, "Your Majesty cares so much about me, I am really..."

"We monarch and ministers don't need to say this." Zhu Youxiao patted Zuo Guangdou with a smile on his face, "I know all the things I do, and this is what I deserve."

"It's all about His Majesty's profound plans and the people are grateful. I just did some trivial things." Zuo Guangdou said quickly,

The emperor wants to buy your heart. No matter how immature the methods are, how smart you are, you can see it, but you cannot show it. And you also have to show that you are very useful and enjoy it.

This is also the tacit understanding between the monarch and the ministers, otherwise what would you think about the emperor?

For a moment, the hall was as warm as before, and the king and his subjects had a tacit understanding.

Zhu Youxiao returned to the dragon throne, and Zuo Guangdou also sat down.

After Zuo Guangdou sat down, Zhu Youxiao continued: "I am very curious about what I have done in recent years. Although I have a question book sent on weekdays, it is not true after all. So I love [Didaxs.info] and tell me."

The emperor wants to ask about your work, which is a manifestation of your contribution, and it also gives you a chance to express yourself. On the one hand, it is to express what you have done, what hardships you have experienced, and what contributions you have made? This is to give you a reward.

On the other hand, it also expresses that the emperor should value you, which is a rare opportunity.

Zuo Guangdou's heart was very warm. His hard work over the years was not in vain, and the emperor saw it all.

This made him relieve the breath he had originally held.

The emperor did not care about the previous events. He was really generous. He should have been like this in the prosperous era.

This made Zuo Guangdou look forward to his future even more.

So Zuo Guangdou said everything he had experienced in the past few years, sometimes serious and sometimes serious, occasionally saying some embarrassing things, which made Zhu Youxiao laugh.

Zuo Guangdou mastered this kind of measure well, and Zhu Youxiao cooperated well, and the two seemed to be chatting.
